The Nebula 2

The Veil, with a crescent moon in the foreground.

The Veil (Satar: Veil of the Lakatar) is an astronomical feature in the night sky of this world. Later observers would know it to be a nebula, a patch of gas and dust illuminated by hot, young stars almost a dozen light years wide, situated remarkably close to the sun. Its appearance was for centuries described as "eating the stars", or perhaps vomiting them back up, and it featured prominently in the mythology of many cultures across the world.
